YDR. OLIVIER COLIN Engine Combustion Modeling Research EngineerIFPEN

After an engineering diploma in aeronau-tics from L’Ecole Centrale Paris in 1995, Dr. Colin received a PhD in Fluid Mechan-ics from Toulouse University (France) in 2000. His major field of expertise is the development of combustion models for both Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) and Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) of piston engines and gas turbines. He actively participated in the development of the well-known AVBP code during his PhD through the development of the TFLES model.

Since 2000 he is employed in IFP Ener-gies nouvelles’ Powertrain and Vehicle Division. He took part to the development of ECFM3Z, AKTIM, TKI and ISSIM among other models, that are now used world-wide. He also initiated and actively took part to research projects on LES of piston engines and gas turbines (LESSCO2, TIMECOP, KIAI, ICAMDAC, MACDIL).

DR. CHRISTIAN ANGELBERGER Expert on Engine Combustion Modeling IFPEN

After an engineering diploma in aeronau-tics from Stuttgart University (Germany) in 1993, Dr. Angelberger received a PhD in Fluid Mechanics from Toulouse University (France) in 1997. His major field of exper-tise is the development and application of Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) to combus-tion engines. He actively participated in the development of the well-known AVBP code during his postdoc at CERFACS, with very first applications of LES to combus-tion instabilities in gas turbines.

Since 1999 he is employed in IFP Energies nouvelles’ Powertrain and Vehicle Division. He initiated a number of breakthrough studies concerning the application of LES to non-cyclic phenomena in piston engines, and has organized the LES4ICE conference since 2008, a reference in the domain.

DR.-ING. JENS EWALD Senior Engineer Gasoline EnginesFEV

Dr. Ewald studied Mechanical Engineering at RWTH Aachen University and UC Davis, California. He received his diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Energy Technolo-gy from RWTH Aachen University in 1999 and his PhD at RWTH Aachen University in 2006.

He was a Project Engineer at FEV from 2006-2008, Team Leader and Vice De-partment Manager at FEV from 2008-2015, and Senior Project Manager at FEV GmbH since January 2016. Dr. Ewald has published several papers on Combustion Theory, and ICE fluid Simula-tion. Topics include reaction kinetic simu-lation for preignition and knock, as well as prediction of heat transfer on aerodynam-ic side for durability simulation.

Dr. Ewald is expert in Combustion System Layout and has led a group of CFD engi-neers. He also manages larger projects of IC engine development.

DR. FRÉDÉRIC RAVET CFD Expert Renault France

Frederic Ravet graduated from L’Ecole Polytechnique of Lille. In 1997 he obtained his PhD in pollutants and combustion modeling in aeronautic combustion chambers. He worked as a combustion research team leader for Snecma, a French aircraft engines supplier and in 2004 was employed by the French car maker Renault as a combustion research team leader. In 2012, he was appointed expert in CFD in charge of the develop-ment of numerical processes for designing engine applications.

DR. CLÉMENT DUMAND Team Leader, Advanced ResearchPSA Peugeot Citroën

Clément Dumand is team leader in the advanced research department of PSA Peugeot Citroën. He received his PhD in mechanical engineering in 2005. During his Ph.D, he developed combustion chambers for mini-drone applications. After graduation, Mr. Dumand joined PSA

Peugeot Citroën as a specialist in ther-modynamics and engine simulations. For 5 years he has led the team in charge of disruptive technologies analysis.

Mr. Dumand is involved in many collabora-tive projects aiming to improve simulation tools. His team has developed advanced methodologies to design innovative diesel and gasoline combustion systems.

DR. MATTIAS LJUNGQVIST Manager, Engine CAE-Fluids Volvo

Dr. Ljungqvist graduated from Chalmers University of Technology in 1993 and then continued with a PhD in the field of Chemical Engineering Design at the same University finishing in 1999. The same year he started his career at Volvo Cars as a Development Engineer at Advanced Engineering working with CFD simulations for combustion system development. He started working on gasoline engines but switched rather quickly to diesel engines. He focused on achieving a rapid meth-od for piston and injector optimization which was used as an important part in

the development of Volvo’s I5D combus-tion system. Since 2014 Dr. Ljungqvist is responsible for engine related 1D and 3D CFD simulations as manager of Engine CAE – Fluids.

ADAPTIVE MESH REFINEMENT WITH FULLY COUPLED CHEMISTRY

THE APPROPRIATE COMBUSTION MODEL FOR YOUR NEEDS. CONVERGE offers

a suite of advanced combustion models to accurately predict the efficiency and per-

formance of reacting systems. The SAGE detailed chemical kinetics solver is highly

preferred for predictive studies. Simplified combustion models can efficiently model

both premixed and non-premixed combustion. CONVERGE v2.3 added three simplified

combustion models: Flamelet Generated Manifold, ECFM, and ECFM3Z.

RUN DETAILED CHEMISTRY ACCURATELY AND EFFICIENTLY. CONVERGE incorpo-

rates several strategies—adaptive zoning, dynamic mechanism reduction, and stiff-

ness-based load balancing, among others—to increase the efficiency of its SAGE de-

tailed chemical kinetic solver. These acceleration techniques, coupled with techniques to

speed up transport, allow you to use larger and more detailed mechanisms to accurately

simulate kinetically limited phenomena and emissions.

CONVERGE also contains utilities for zero-dimensional ignition delay, mechanism reduc-

tion, sensitivity analysis, mechanism merging, and one-dimensional laminar flamespeed.

These utilities enhance the use of detailed chemistry.
